Day 784

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  It sounds simple enough, "Be kinds and be truthful, and your life will be fruitful."  Since I've been sober, I've been (trying) to be more kind, and my life isn't a big lie anymore.  It's so much easier.  And I have so many more blessings.  My life really is more fruitful. I am happier.  I may sound weird, but the more and longer you are kind, the easier it becomes, it just becomes natural.  Same with telling the truth.  (It sure was with telling lies.)  It's so true, I wouldn't say practice makes perfect, but I would practice gets me better, gets me more toward where I WANT to be.  I will never be perfect. And I've said it a hundred times.  Progress, not perfection.  So as long as you are better than you were yesterday, you are on the right track.  You don't have to be better than anyone else, just YOU.  So be kind.  That's all I have today! Have a great one!  By the way,  almost 75% of you voted for lovethesoberlife.com, so I think that's what I'm going with.  Thanks to everyone that voted!  That was fun!  Don't forget to sign up for a chance to win a free book! :)
